Our Goals

Our primary goal at Pilgrim Nursery School is to encourage a child to become a self-confident, curious and inventive person.

Our preschool provides both organized and independent activities that help develop:

social skills

emotional well-being

cognitive development

physical abilities

creative growth

While your child is at our preschool we strive to stimulate an interest in learning, to give each child the ability to meet problems, and most of all, to foster enjoyment of life experiences and the world around us.
